Strangelove NYC is an independent American niche fragrance house founded in 2013 by Elizabeth Gaynes. Based in New York, the brand was born from its founder's fascination with oud and her interest in sustainable sourcing of precious fragrance ingredients. After exploring oud plantations in Borneo, Elizabeth developed a vision for a perfume house dedicated to exceptional materials, artisanal craftsmanship and distinctive fragrance creations. The brand launched its first perfume oil, Dead of Night, in 2014 at Harrods' Salon de Parfums in London. Creative Director Helena Christensen also plays an important role in shaping its artistic identity and fragrance storytelling.
Strangelove NYC perfumes place oud at the heart of their compositions, combining it with rare and unusual ingredients such as ambergris, orris butter, sandalwood, jasmine, champaca and vanilla. The collection explores rich woody, oriental, floral, gourmand and amber fragrance profiles. Its creations are available in different formats, including eau de parfum and pure perfume oils, offering distinctive ways to experience the brand's compositions.
Notable creations include Dead of Night, Melt My Heart, Silence the Sea, Lost in Flowers, Fall into Stars and A Fire Within. Each fragrance tells a different story through distinctive ingredients, from the dark woody character of Dead of Night to the floral richness of Lost in Flowers and the warm gourmand accords of Melt My Heart.
